Chapter 519
Chapter 519
June — the Month of Light and Daytime.
Originally, this month should have been one of eternal daylight.
The blazing sun would remain suspended high in the heavens forever, and throughout the entirety of June, there would be no night at all—only brilliant, dazzling daytime.
At least, that had been true for thousands of years.
This was Zhuya’s month.
The month of light.
But this time, things were completely different.
Day and night alternated normally.
The sun still sank beyond the horizon.
A lone angel spread her wings high above the clouds, gazing from a sea entirely dyed in radiance toward lands far beyond.
In the distance, everything lay silent.
The bright full moon was imprisoned behind black storm clouds, while both sky and ocean were swallowed in darkness.
Only scattered traces of human civilization remained visible through flickering lights.
In the outside world—
Night still existed.
Only this Sea of Light remained untouched by darkness.
The radiance swayed alongside the waves, slowly eroding the surrounding seas where night still endured.
"Stay dark while you still can..."
"It won’t remain that way much longer."
"Soon enough, this world will no longer know night."
...
[Abyssfall]
Kanzaki Rei spent some time explaining his origins and purpose.
Gradually, Shumi and the red-haired warrior lowered their suspicions.
While explaining his background, Kanzaki Rei did not fabricate lies.
He merely recounted his experiences within the Time Ruins while concealing only a few minor details.
After all, it wasn’t something that particularly needed to be hidden.
In this world, everyone possessed their own unique encounters.
In fact, without extraordinary opportunities, reaching Level 8 was practically impossible.
Take Shumi, for example.
For her to rise to Level 8 within such a short period of time, she had undoubtedly encountered some special fortune herself.
The reason Kanzaki Rei could speak so openly about the Time Ruins was mainly because—
Compared to a blessing, that ruin resembled a curse far more.
And more importantly, it could not be replicated.
Even if others coveted such an opportunity, they would not necessarily develop malicious intentions toward him because of it.
"I have some of the items on your list," the red-haired warrior said. "Do you want all of them?"
"But don’t misunderstand—these aren’t materials you can pick up on the roadside. If you want them, ordinary gold coins won’t be enough."
Kanzaki Rei nodded.
"Yes, I know."
Materials capable of forging Divine Artifacts were naturally anything but ordinary.
And among those capable of becoming Level 8 Class-Changers, nearly every one of them possessed at least a few god-tier materials rarely seen in the world.
After joining the Expeditionary Army, it might actually be worthwhile to conduct more trades with them in the future.
"How about this?"
Kanzaki Rei closed his hand around empty air.
A pair of boots instantly appeared in his grasp.
"Featherlight Boots"
"Equipment Tier: Fourth-Tier"
"Forging Effect: Grants the body weightless-like lightness"
"Enchantment Effect: Abyssfall Traversal — Ignores the laws of the Abyssfall, allowing unrestricted upward movement within the Abyssfall."
The forging effect itself seemed relatively insignificant.
But the enchantment effect caused the red-haired warrior’s pupils to contract sharply.
Abyssfall Traversal?
How could such an enchantment even exist?
Indeed...
Before advancing to a Level 4 Enchanter, even Kanzaki Rei himself would not have been able to produce a second Abyssfall Traversal enchantment.
Some enchantment stones in the world were absolutely unique.
Even though Kanzaki Rei could extract enchantment properties, if the original item existed only once, then replication would still be impossible.
But after becoming a Level 4 Enchanter, Kanzaki Rei obtained the God-Tier Talent:
"God-Tier · Enchantment Regeneration"
"Recreates enchantment effects into enchantment stones usable for further enchanting, without consuming the original enchantment effect. Unique enchantments may be extracted and reapplied repeatedly."
Through this talent, Kanzaki Rei could infinitely replicate the same enchantment effect.
Which resulted in the equipment currently before the warrior.
The woman could not help but feel bewildered.
Years ago, rumors had circulated that fragments of strange stone had been collected within the White Tower—materials that floated upward from the Abyssfall itself.
Many studies had been conducted regarding upward movement within the Abyssfall.
But until now, there had never been a single confirmed example of success.
No matter who entered the Abyssfall—
Everyone had to descend.
The only way to leave was by finding a rupture within the Abyssfall that connected back to the mortal world.
And yet the equipment Kanzaki Rei had just produced completely shattered common understanding.
"Well?"
"This equipment in exchange for your materials."
"Right now, everyone’s fighting within the Abyssfall. As a warrior, you should know exactly how valuable upward mobility here truly is."
It was true.
All current battles took place within the Abyssfall.
If enemies could only descend while she herself could move freely—
Then for a warrior, the advantage would be enormous.
She could maintain the high ground from beginning to end.
She also wouldn’t have to endure those disgusting ranged monsters hovering above her while she remained unable to reach them and split them apart.
Truthfully, the entire journey here had left her deeply frustrated.
Damn it.
Those Seventh-Tier and Eighth-Tier monsters floated overhead the entire time, hurling disgusting ranged attacks without ever approaching.
Although she possessed some ranged techniques herself, her class was ultimately still that of a warrior.
Long-range attacks simply lacked the satisfaction and destructive exhilaration of close combat.
So all she could do was endure one-sided harassment while continuing downward.
If she stopped retreating, the monsters stopped chasing.
But once she moved again, they resumed pursuit.
The monsters of the Abyssfall had seemingly evolved specifically for this environment.
The moment they gained altitude advantage, they clung to it relentlessly.
Absolutely infuriating.
So after seeing this enchantment, the red-haired warrior immediately understood its value.
At least within the Abyssfall—
This enchantment was unquestionably top-tier.
Still, she frowned slightly.
"Only one pair?"
"If it’s only this item, then at most I can give you the Cloud Resin."
"I collected it from the Sky Nest before it was completely sealed."
"There’s no way to obtain it in the world anymore."
"The materials you’re asking for aren’t ordinary... Your equipment is valuable, yes, but once you leave the Abyssfall, its usefulness drops considerably."
Kanzaki Rei replied calmly,
"Then how about adding these?"
He casually lifted a hand.
Several Eighth-Tier monster core materials appeared instantly in his palm.
After all, he had already killed over two thousand Eighth-Tier monsters.
Although many of those monsters had possessed defects or damage to varying degrees—
Eighth-Tier materials were still Eighth-Tier materials.
However, upon seeing the corpses and core materials, the warrior hesitated briefly.
"These monsters..."
"You killed them?"
"What strange wounds... These are traces from a Dao Dissolution Technique, aren’t they?"
Kanzaki Rei answered simply.
"Yes."
The red-haired warrior rested her greatsword on her shoulder and let out a long sigh.
"Forget it."
"I’ll give you all the materials you asked for."
"As for these monster materials, I don’t need them."
"You’re the warrior who entered the Dao recently, aren’t you?"
"I was wondering why you looked so familiar..."
"So it was you after all."
"My name’s Elrosa."
"Like you, I’m also a warrior who entered the Dao."
"You should’ve seen me on the Path of Dao Entry back then."
"I honestly didn’t expect to run into you here."
"When Shumi said you were Izparut’s disciple, I didn’t even think in that direction at first."
